Last night and last Tuesday Peter Mayhew, the actor who played Chewbacca in the original Star Wars trilogy, tweeted several of his old set photos. It’s an amazing collection, including gems like the picture of Harrison Ford above. He’s doing an impression of how anyone who tries to interview him feels.

We’ve collected some of our favorite pictures below, with interesting details when relevant. All the pictures Mayhew shared are available here. Thanks to Laughing Squid for the assist.

“You know Kenny as R2D2, but he was also Paploo, the Ewok who stole the Imperial Speeder Bike.” — Peter Mayhew
